Color revolutions are forms of warfare, which are becoming significant factors in the destabilization of targeted regions around the world. Foreign values are being forced upon peoples under the guise of democracy Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a conference on international security held in Moscow on Friday.
Socioeconomic problems of the targeted countries are used as pretext to replace national governments with regimes controlled from abroad," Shoigu said.

They, for their part, provide their sponsors with unlimited access to the countries' natural resources.

Color revolutions are increasingly look like warfare; they are being developed and coordinated to meet overall political and military objectives the minister said.
